Our Price:

One Night With Janis Joplin adds some actual Fourth of July fireworks to the musical ones produced on stage, with a post-show barbeque buffet on the Arena Stage terrace -- a prime viewing spot for the famed pyrotechnics launched on the National Mall. First up is the show, a part-concert, part-theatrical event that captures Janis Joplin's life and legacy in all its live intensity. Mary Bridget Davies stars as the rock legend in a performance that has audiences dancing in the aisles and critics raving. Featuring powerful musical numbers including "Piece of My Heart, "Summertime" and "Mercedes Benz," as well as one song Joplin never formally recorded, One Night boasts a full band and a cast including Sabrina Elayne Carten, who plays Bessie Smith, Etta James, Aretha Franklin and Nina Simone. After the performance, you'll move outside the theater for food and drinks, along with the fireworks viewing. Please see the full event description for the buffet menu. Learn More

Great event with good food. Got a little crowded towards the second half of the event, but there was plenty of food and wine for everyone. Get there early is the best advice I could give.

Wonderful event. I intend to go back every year. Good atmosphere, GREAT food and DELECTABLE wines. It's fun to get the perspective of the chefs who created delicious dishes. You're donating to a good cause and getting a lot in return as well. Everyone seemed to be in a great mood. It was fun, classy and casual all at the same time.
